I took a couple of pictures this morning and will post them shortly. I’m taking the rest of the day off.

It’s a beautiful day here, and I want to sit outside with Maria, Zip, and Zinnia, read, doze, and talk. Maria just hung a beautiful art piece I bought in Vermont in Bellows Falls on the wall of our compost toilet (below).

Life with an artist. I wish you all a peaceful and comfortable day.

I didn’t want to bother Sarah Harrington on Easter (she said she was cooking today), and I don’t want to upset my readers either, but I couldn’t resist the temptation for anyone feeling low or restless today. Here’s something good to do if your family drives you bonkers: get some Nature’s  Valley Granola Bars (20 in a pack) for $12.49 on the Cambridge Food Pantry’s Amazon Wish List.

A great way to get out of yourself.

Just in case you are bored and restless. Sending these bars to kids will perk you up, I promise.

Sarah never seems to sleep or rest so that I will leave her alone today. This is Jon Katz’s Food Choice of the Day, the top of a brand-new and updated Pantry Wish List.

If you aren’t using Amazon’s list, you can donate food and send it to Sarah Harrington, Cambridge Food Pantry, 24 E. Main Street, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
